Pain always adds a little pizazz to the finer things in life 😉
There are 9 planets…
$108k for those! With all the workers and equipment, I wonder if they profited. What a wild treasure hunt.
There’s a burial spot somewhere for old game cartridges too, right?
That’s what keeping all that latinum in your second stomach does to you.
Good thing he got rid of all that worthless gold though. That stuff is toxic.
I would say it’s a war against knowledge and critical thinking. Those two things threaten their control and reasoning. Why else fear books or competing ideologies?
It’s one thing for the deer to see headlights coming at it. It’s another for it to know what it means and what it should do.
Is it weird that I still want to go for my PhD despite all the feedback about the process? I don’t think I’ve ever met a PhD or candidate that’s enthusiastically said “do it!”
Ngl if it weren’t for my soul crushing student loan debt, I’d do this. Not to qualify for jobs or gloat, I just love learning.
I hope to start a PhD before 40 but the finances and family life aren’t looking too promising.
I was going to joke and say: that’s like, what, warp 0.0001.
In the Star Trek universe, warp factors are a way to measure faster-than-light travel. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s). To convert your given speed of 32,000 km/hr into a warp factor, we need to use the formula that relates warp factor to the speed of light:
v = c * (w^(10/3))
where:
• v is the speed in multiples of the speed of light (c),
• w is the warp factor.
First, convert 32,000 km/hr into kilometers per second (km/s):
32,000 km/hr = 32,000 / 3,600 km/s ≈ 8.89 km/s
Now, find the warp factor using the speed of light:
w = (v / c)^(1 / (10/3))
w = (8.89 km/s / 299,792 km/s)^(1 / (10/3))
Calculate the fraction inside the parentheses:
8.89 / 299,792 ≈ 0.00002967
Now raise this to the power of 3/10:
0.00002967^(3/10) ≈ 0.000657
So, approximately:
w ≈ 0.000657
Therefore, a speed of 32,000 km/hr corresponds to a very low warp factor, approximately Warp 0.000657 in the Star Trek scale.
Do I have a slot for that?
Someday I hope to build up the courage to visit/participate a nudist beach. It seems far more comfortable and “normal” in Europe than in the States from my travels. Remarkably humanizing.
